People often ask: "What on earth do you do with Chia seeds?" Well, I think I've found one of the most perfect ways to get the benefits of the seeds in one of our most beloved desserts. These brownies are incredibly tasty, really! Just ask our meat department associates; I brought them a platter, and they were gone before I could say Chia!

So besides "What's your favorite cheese?", the No. 1 question our cheese specialists get asked is, "What kind of cheese would you pair with this wine?". To be honest, pairings are subjective, and what tastes good to one person may not thrill another. But to help, our cheese specialists usually recomend one of two things: Complete opposites (like a sweet wine paired with a salty cheese), or things that are similar (like a light, tangy cheese with a bright, crisp wine).
There are a million great combinations that do not fall within these guidelines, but this is a good place to start. For a sure-fire warm weather favorite, try a fresh chevre (such as one from Laura Chenel or Cypress Grove) with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc (or, if you're feeling adventurous, a dry rosé). Cheers!
